My husband and I are so happy we chose to have Renee be a part of our baby’s birth. When first doing our research, we weren't really sure if we would need a doula for our home birth, but we’re so glad we decided to work with Renee! Prior to the birth of our baby, Renee came to our house on two separate occasions to meet with us and answer any questions we had. She gave many helpful recommendations for supplements, exercises, and questions to ask our midwives. Leading up to my due date, Renee would check in on a weekly basis. As soon as my contractions began, I notified Renee. She followed up every few hours to see how I was doing and progressing. She let me know at what point she wanted to come to our house and begin supporting both myself and my husband. I texted her at 3 a.m. when contractions began to pick-up and she was over less than an hour later. Renee was calm throughout labor, reminding my husband and I to eat, drink, and rest as much as possible. During active labor, Renee was by our side the whole time applying pressure and giving tips to my husband for how to help. Renee was responsive to any and all feedback I gave her during my labor. After our baby was born, Renee stayed with us for a few hours to make sure my husband, baby, and I were comfortable. Renee checked in every few hours to make sure everything was going well, and when I told her I was struggling with getting my baby to latch, she quickly referred me to someone who could help. Renee visited a few days after the birth with our encapsulated placenta and continued to check in daily for the next week. Renee was worth her weight in gold. If you're debating having Renee be a part of your birth plan, I highly recommend you do so! We will be using Renee for any future births. Thank you, Renee!
